Summary
Nathan Levinkind is a product security research manager at Red Hat with over a decade of hands-on experience across networking, quality engineering, and security research. He rose through technical and leadership roles—spanning Cisco test engineering, QA management, and OpenStack QE—combining deep protocol and infrastructure knowledge (IP, QoS, MPLS, 802.1X, PKI) with practical skills in IOS, ACS, Linux, and test platforms like IXIA and Spirent. At Red Hat he now leads a globally distributed ethical hacking team that proactively uncovers vulnerabilities in enterprise offerings, blending strategic oversight with real-world exploit and mitigation experience. Known as a quick study and pragmatic problem-solver, he pairs scripting and automation (TCL and other tools) with an engineer’s attention to documentation and reproducible testing. Fluent in Hebrew and English and CCNA/CCIP certified, he brings an uncommon mix of avionics-era hardware grounding and modern cloud/security engineering.
